What draws yogis to Rajasthan? What do the local people have to say about the reasons why yogis feel attracted to this place?

I have heard many stories about yogis going to the desert area of Rajasthan. What is so special about this place? I've come across some strange tales of teleportation and highly spiritual sites. While I doubt these stories, I can't help but wonder what really happens there. What do the locals say about why yogis are drawn to Rajasthan?
